They are in Mexico protecting his daughter and her friends!

In the US Obama has to worry about the righties, there it's the lefties. Must make Obama a Centrist by definition then I guess.

Didnt you read the other story?...they were out with a bunch of hookers!...: p

Obama a Centrist by definition

LOL That's rich!

A man who spends as much time as Obama has trash talking 'the other side' is anything but a centrist.

Those weren't bombs! It was just the Secret Service getting banged!

This can't be happening. Obama campaigned that he was going to bring people together and not do this type of thing. He will blame this on Bush.

Perhaps they should have been searching for bombs instead of visiting prostitutes....or were the prostitutes a diversion to keep them away from the bombs?

Next time, bring the bomb sniffing dogs

Those weren't bombs .... it was the Secret Service getting their rocks off.

Not a fan of Obama's policies, but he IS our President. Vote for him if you like him, don't vote for him if you don't.

But I take offense to people setting off bombs anywhere in his vicinity. Roughly half the people in this country will always disagree with the President, but we should never tolerate things like this!

The secret service agents were'nt doing anything different than Obama exept he is doing it to a whole country!!!

You must mean they hit him with the Constitution

Will: So you think the head of the western hemisphere shouldn't go to a conference on that hemisphere? That he should phone it in? Yeah, that's leadership. Do you manage by email, too?

And you further think Obama should be shot or gang-banged? concerned-memphian is right; we shouldn't tolerate things like this (and I'll leave it to you to determine what I mean by "this").

Why is the President in Columbia on a campaign stop? Future voters I guess.

john: Read the article. He's there for the Summit of the Americas:

The Summits of the Americas are institutionalized gatherings of the heads of state and government of the Western Hemisphere where leaders discuss common policy issues, affirm shared values and commit to concerted actions at the national and regional level to address continuing and new challenges faced in the Americas. The Sixth Summit of the Americas will be held in Cartagena, Colombia on April 14-15, 2012.

What in the world are these leftist communists protesting for? Don't they realize that Obama is one of them?

Well Will, I guess G W Bush was a stupid snit too. Now how will you get your foot out of your mouth?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6439701.stm

Dumb a$$ comments.

Here is the real bomb: A part of Obama's delegation, at least 12 people, sent home for patronizing local prostitutes.
What a disgrace.

AG99

I did read the article. My comment was sarcasm.

I am conservative leaning. I voted for Bush in 2000. I switched in 2004 because I didn't agree with his policies. I also voted for Obama in 2008. After 3 years I see him as a failure, and I can't vote for anyone that fails in his oath to uphold the Constitution. This year my vote will be going to Ron Paul because he can't be bought.

I find it very annoying the blind following that the President receives, and I don't think he would have a chance at a second term if it wasn't for over the top political correctness. Defend him all you want, but I believe you are wrong. I think it should be every voters obligation to be an American first, not a blind party member.

Good lord, Will, are you always this gratuitously rude and childish? Can you not make your point without resorting to insults? Apparently not.

As for your leadership style, you'd never make it in the military. We expect our leaders to step up, not email their directions. You would have our president snub the other leaders at this summit through cowardice or to save the cost of the trip? Well hell, let's just lock him a bunker for the duration of his term and give him internet access. He can't do worse than you.

Oh my....AG99 doesn't like the truth....your prez is going down in flames and all you do is help him with your stupid remarks. BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Now watch...he'll come back madder than a hornet. AG99 is to easy to bait...throw him back.

john: Your sarcasm didn't make it across. It helps to put that little "/s" at the end.

And I didn't vote for Obama, but I think he deserves respect as our president. I'm sorry you don't see that.

Oh Will, you're not even worth debating. Knock yourself out with your juvenile rhetoric. I'm not interested in you anymore.

(And btw, I'm female, not that that's important.)

It's all smoke and mirrors while they loaded this months cocaine onto planes

See....I told you AG99 would come back with something. Stop embarrasing yourself. The SS was sent home for flocking with prostitutes instead of protecting the village idiot. Get over it, no matter what you say, you can't change the facts...no prez, no matter how stupid he is should be going to Colombia (especially the most hated prez) and the SS shouldn't be screw ing around with filthy prostitues. Wonder how many brought back crabs, venerial warts, AIDS...the list is endless and I bet we see a lot of divorces over this little "dipping of the wick".

AG99

I grew up in a world where you were expected to earn respect, and he hasn't. I can have respect for the Presidency, without having respect for the man in the office. He is not a god, he is a man.

Wow...only 11:00am and the treasonous, racist nutters are out in force. Did one guy actually suggest that the bombs should have killed our President?! WTF, you people are a disgrace to your flag and country. He is there with all of the other important leaders from the Western Hemisphere discussing important partnerships and economic cooperation for all of our futures. Perhaps many of you are simply pessimistic, inward looking, isolationists, but America cannot afford that view.

Agree or disagree with Obama at home, abroad he is seen as an American - not a Democrat. He is a symbol of our nation - all of us. An attack on him is an attack on all of our views - conservative and liberal, libertarian and progressive. For all of our differences Dems and Repubs have more in common with each other than Americans do with any other nation. Stand by your @!$%#ing President you internet troll @!$%#ing hacks. Jesus Christ! Pathetic.

john: I can sympathize with your intent to vote for Paul. Neither the Democrats nor the GOP have put America's best interests before party politics in recent years and that's disgraceful. I haven't made up my mind yet, but the GOP sure hasn't been winning any converts lately.

As for defending him, I think he deserves a certain amount of support just because he can't do his job otherwise. I wasn't suggesting blind adoration. radagast is right in saying he represents us all when he's abroad.

What stupid snit goes to visit Colombia....ever???? Well I answered by own question...a stupid snit.

George W. Bush, Nov. 2004, Mar. 2007

Bill Clinton, Aug. 2000

George H. W. Bush, Feb. 1990

John F. Kennedy, Dec. 1961

Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jul. 1934

I'm willing to bet you voted for at least one of those stupid snits. Probably voted for him twice. Even without knowing what "diplomacy" means.

AG99

I agree that the President is the face of the nation abroad, but if he is pushing policies in the Americas like is being done on other parts of the globe, we are destined to make enemies in the Americas as well. I think we have enough of them already, and we don't need them this close to home.

They werent bombs, they were the hookers heads ramming headboards from our secret service

Will, you really sound like a fan of our Constitution and Democracy. Is amateur hour over yet? Do you need your noon nap already? I'm sure if you try really hard you can say something even more incredible for the readers. C'mon...enough of your comments haven't been collapsed yet...this can't be you all-time best performance. What else ya got?

4 more years? Better think about that instead of the usual knee jerk vote.

Will, i agree with you.Obama is NOT My president either.He is a representative for all the dumb@rses that voted for this clown.He is the biggest joke in history as a repesentative.Fact:He has, in 4 years, put our country more in debt than ALL other presidents COMBINED.And yet, some people are still supporting him?!Maybe theyre still hoping for all the "free stuff"

The Columbian equivalent of fireworks to mark his visit...

If the messiah were to get sent to dem ol' cottonfields back home, do you realize that Biden would then be the President !! Stand up Chuck ! It's bad enough that we have the occupier of the oval office that we have without installing a super duper Idiot!!

Oh and by the way those were not bombs that went off they were fireworks from the celebration of receiving the Millions in foreign aid nobama will promise them, all the while Americans go homeless, jobless, and hungry.

I honestly believe President Obama is being SET UP to give the Racist Rights some talking Points! These bastards don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to fixing whats wrong with America, all they want to do is GIVE MORE TAX BREAKS TO THE RICH .... Just in case you haven't noticed, its the RICH whose running for President, so they can do what Bush & Cheney did while the Rule the World!

Quite honestly, I WISH Obama would resign and allow the Tea Bagger's, the Nazi Repukes to get back in office to end the misery MILLIONS of americans are suffering! Let's get this BS over with!

Earthie

That would be an interesting sight. 300 million Americans Jim Jonesing it.

Not a fan of Obama's policies, but he IS our President. Vote for him if you like him, don't vote for him if you don't.

But I take offense to people setting off bombs anywhere in his vicinity. Roughly half the people in this country will always disagree with the President, but we should never tolerate things like this!

I have to agree with this. Obama may be an @!$%#, but he's OUR @!$%# and nobody gets to screw with him but us.

Jesus Christ!! What a bunch of drooling, mental midgits you right wing teathuglicans are!! You can kiss my grits...!! We'll see you at the polls...right? You do know how to make an "X" don't you? Bring your uhhhhh "portfolios" with you...as you seem to think ol Etch a Sketch is your man...........UGGGGGGGGGGHHHH!!

Etch a sketch is cheaper than this dicks spending!!!!!!!!!! I refuse to call him Jesus Christ though!!!!!!! By the way the red line under midgits meant you spelled that word wrong UGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Let's just hope this is the last year we have to put up with the Bozobama charm all over the world.

Will, I never really like to use certain words and try to keep quite when I see moronic statements like the ones you are posting but you have got to be the biggest red neck, white trash, Idiot, S.O.B. I have ever come in contact with. You have your head so far up your a$$ that it is comical to imagine. I can only imagine what your stupid face looks like. Please reframe from talking about anything you know nothing about. Or just reframe from talking period. You obviously never made it past the 6th grade in your educational endevour. If I was your daddy, I would take you behind the farm and put one right between your F#%$ing eyes. You are a total Moron loser and it's plain to see that you come from a very low life, probably hillbilly from some far off F#%$ing hills nobody ever heard of. I'm sure I'm not the only one that is tired of listening to your bull@!$%#te. Please do us all a favor and eat $hit and die.

The language going back and forth is counter productive and reflects ill on all using it. Whether you differ philosophically with our president or not, he is OUR president. He was elected and is our leader. If you do not like it, there is an opportunity to change leadership this year.

I apologize Hog Lover. You are totally right. It's just that sometimes some people really irk me and I lose control and the worst of me comes out. I apologize to anyone I offended except Will. F#%k Her. Ooops! See what I mean.

they needed a bomb to break windows? jesus!!! someone should tell them the rock has been invented.

It may have been another teabagger attack.

What a bunch of hateful, stupid people!!

Really? You didn't need to go birther to make your comment ludicrous, but you just couldn't resist. You had to go the full monty. Sad.

Will,

you need to get out !!! Now !!!!!!!

The secret service should be on your doorstep soon !!!!! (oh, by the way, it was Bush that the rest of the world saw as a bumbling idiot) you idiot !!!!!

You dimocraps are the real attackers on most threads!Did I mention the most consistent "liars"!

What a bunch of hateful, stupid people!!

Yes, from all sides.

Probably a misunderstood,"welcoming bomb" for their left wing brothers' visit!

i'd put obama a wee bit further to the right myself...more margaret thatcherish...

All the more reason not to have him in office another four years.

Really, he is like two of the most beloved Western leaders of the 20th century and that is why we shouldn't give him 4 more years??

And I see certain trolls can't keep a sock in it as well. You continue to delight us with your precious personal insights.

Gee, Will, unoriginal, abusive, inflammatory responses. You're no woman, I can tell you that.

I sense a ban coming. You are the type of person that censorship was created for. You must be so proud.

Sticks and stones and all that. You must be very bored with your life.

gimmimeabreak: BURY BERRIE-2012!

Will....something tells you're a man. Or possibly a hermaphrodite.

Something tells me you're also a devout southern Christian. Which would explain all the hate.

Do you wake up in the mornings with this mindset? If so, I pity you. Now do the Christian thing and "turn the other cheek" Mk? Mk.

Certainly no lady, and most likely not a woman, but ugly right to his/her/its core.

Will.....Sounds like the sort of thing I'd hear from a middle schooler...

Oh wait.

Where do you think all the illegal immigrant Colombians, Brazilians and Venezuelans live once they don't get back on the plane in Orlando with the tourist visas they had to go to Disney World? (Yes, folks, it's true and it continues to happen).

Why isn't Mexifornia represented at this meeting.After all we have more Mexicans than Mexico!I could see our Govennor Moonbean down there pusing his rediculous high speed rail project that go from nowhere to nowhere!Wonder why the big unions are backing the project?

Rudagast: The treaties with Colombia and several other countries in this region have been held up by Berrie for three years whils he demanded more concessions regarding "Unions"He could have signed this legislation the day after he took office but held until he got what the SEIU wanted from these treaties!Don't be so niave!

you really ARE a "snotball"....GREAT choice of name fool!

We are all just Americans to the rest of the world. Our lefties are considered conservative in other countries. It's all relative to the local politics. Trust me, nobody in South America thinks Obama is a Leftist. If you knew the history of that region you would know why.

Europeans laugh at the conservatives that call Mr. Obama a leftist. They have no clue.

The Lefty Gods... Lenin,Stalin,Mao,Ho Chi Min,Pol pot! Which would do you think is considered the "Zeus" of gods? I'd go with Mao,he seem to have murdered the most with strong second to Stalin!

Obama..note to self import more cocaine campain funds are getting low.

You have your head so far up Rush's ass, how can you see to write?

I believe the original poster was being sarcastic.

Touche!

It's a worthy self analysis,MG! Glad to see you come around!

Or a pre-scheduled meeting of Western Hemisphere leaders?

You're probably right though. The whole trip was a stunt. Obama got the leaders of the Western Hemisphere to travel to Cartagena just so he could garner a few points in the next Pew Poll.

Because they know we have nothing left...he's already given most of it away with the help of congress.

What Congress?They have been neutered by this president and can hardly be considered a "branch" of the Federal Govt'!He has taken away their independence for the sake of making his presidencythe " imperial" presidency!The only other existing and functioning branch is the Judiciary!

I'm with you, Spencer; the fact is, Obama has been a left-of-center president - not some radical liberal as blowhards like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh have lead their sheep to believe.

The thing is, the majority of those on the right have shifted so far away from the center that they're the polar opposite of the radical-left Colombian guerillas mentioned in this article.

Hey Spense and MG isn't it time for you to think for yourself. Many of us see a different side of Obama than you do. This is not because we listen to talk show pundits, left or right. It because we see the facts ourselves. OPen your eyes and take a closer look without benefit of the seeing eye dog media.

And, MG979, the majority of those on the left have @!$%#ed so far away from the center that they're the polar opposite of American evangelical conservatives.

Even if either party votes together on a basic, black-and-white, central issue to get something done, they both call out each other as the monster...and MSNBC is a network that certain harbors love to the more liberal (as much as Fox News is blatantly conservative).

Break - I'm totally with you on the fact that both parties' bases have shifted to the extremities of their respective sides; which is unfortunate for those of us who choose to think for ourselves and remain unaffiliated with either party.

And Divided We Fall...And we are. Glad my dad who was a WWII vet is not here to see this.

I wonder how many bombs went off prior to his arrival and after he left. A fact of the matter is those bombs had nothing to do with Obama being there and they weren't close in proximity. These hate filled A-holes that make a negative post on any article that says Obama should drop dead. Those are the people who are driving the country apart not Obama. People try to blame this guy for everything thats wrong with this country. Iraq and Afghanistan wars sent the economy into turmoil, and Mr. Bush relaxes in his Texas Mansion while you hate promoters struggle in your shacks and trailers and hold hate rallies. Simply put you guys are the @!$%# we need to get rid of.

How can the Democrats be shifting so far to the left when half of their plans were formally supported and even proposed by Republicans? The evidence speaks clearly against such a slide to the left. I'm sure that some of the Democratic base has shifted to the left, but the dem politicians aren't exactly chasing after them like their counterparts on the right are for their base.

radagast - you do realize that while Romney's health care bill might be good for Massachusetts it by no means is good for EVERY state. for example. some states don't have any income tax, but not all states can get by without it. 5 year olds are able to understand that. why is it so tough for the average liberal?

No but remember Robert Byrd,the democrap senator who was just last year proclaimed the "conscience of the Senate",was the grand kleagal of the kkkk(Knights of the Ku Klux Klan)!He is also famous for repeadedly using the "n" while on the Senate floor and on national TV!It That the person you were looking for,the grand kleagal,Robert Byrd,DfromSpensor?

Dfromspenser: You are a paid operative!Please read comment 17.9,I gfound your klans man! You know you got yuor talking points today and now are spewing them all over this thread! How well are you paid by big union and the dimocraps,anyway!It least the right will not spend this country into oblivion!

Obama's so far to the left that he makes Stalin to be a republican!I expect ,any day,Berrie will ask everyone to move out of the cities to help cleanse the air and to help air quality!

mas: You are an idiot. Talk to anyone who lived under Stalin and you MIGHT learn why!

"blood is on the hands of both parties"

That's strange! I dont recall bombs going off in Columbia during Bush; am I forgetting a bombing event in that country?

You are righ Ru...Bush got the cheap treatment. He just got shoes chucked at his head!!! Hahahahahaha....

Ru, what Rah is referring to is the long term U.S. support of military dictatorships in Latin America beginning in the late sixties and early seventies and continuing through the early nineties. Tens of thousands of people were murdered by these fascist governments, but both political parties were so afraid of communism in Latin America that they condoned this. Hence blood on hands. For goodness sakes, learn a little history before spouting off!

Huh?

If I had a wife that looked like moochelle, I would want a little stray on the side.

the comments on here are just hilarious are some of you blind or stupid or could it be both i wonder? granted everyone has a problem with our prez you are entitled to that but lets be real here alot of you dont realize what it takes to run a nation many of you cant run your own homes this country started losing jobs when bush took office jobs were lost when 911 happened lots of them and we continued to freefall for the next few years tarp bailouts for wallstreet etc. now it takes money to make money u haved to spend in order to make it sure you wanna say he spends to much its not like you were getting any of that money anyways there was a stimulus that wasnt big enough to stop alot of the job losses but it helped you may not believe it. but had some measures not happened we would be in far worst shape the jobs are coming back althouugh not as fast as everyone wants the redumblicans have blocked measures that what would have put this country back on the right path back in 09,2010,and 2011 and its because the rich dont care about the working class unless it benefits them some of us will never have their finances, when we as a country get our head out of our arses we could see that. if that were any prez but him they would get what they want this is a race issue whether we believe it or not and mr.rohmney is a rich caucasian who only cares about rich people listen to him brag about the friends he has all of them are rich and those are the ones he will take care of look up his resume if u dnt believe me this man has shut down more companies then fires and alot of those jobs lost happened with him at the helm so is this what we really want i dont think so imagine what will happen if hes in office it will get alot worse simply because hes for cutting programs we all need he didnt want unemployment extended he wanted detroit and our auto industry to fail why? simply put he has over seas interest that arent in our best interest read the facts its outhere

Columbian guerrilla fighters are hardly of the same political stripe as Obama. To them Obama is viciously conservative. That is how they see America. They couldn't give a @!$%# about his domestic policies.

Come on Berrie ,sing!" I'm working for the unions,i'm working for the unions....."

Well at least Mr. Obama won't be arrested on site if he leaves the country for being a war criminal like vice president W or president Cheney...

Rtypo,he should be for treason from destroying this country!But he has taught everone under to follow his pattern of work.The General Accounting Office knows how to spend big,just like Berrie!Unfortunatelt neither one of them use their own money!

Did we forget the Iraq fiasco and the unpaid for tax cuts whilst doing Bush's little cowboys and Iraqi game? How about the unpaid for part D of Medicare? Selective memory? I think not. Just pure hatred and ignorance!!

i couldnt agree with you more if i said it @eggberta all of the things you just mentioned are part of the reason the debt is so high and for the life of me i dont see why more people dont read the facts none of those were paid for and its causing the american public to believe obama is the reason the debt is so high when you have two wars going on a healthcare plan that wasnt paid for of course america is going to pay for it and i mean the people not goverment everyone expected obama to be this black messiah or superhero hes going to rescue us yay get real hes only a man he told us in his first speech things would get worse before they got better well they did and things are starting to turn around you dont change captains when the ship starts to pick up steam i dont agree with all his policies but with the rich man in charge (romney) there will be no middle class just rich, poor and poorer

George Bush made sure a lot of countries hated us.

and Obama has doubled that.

Wondered how long it would take some Obamanite to get around to blaming Bush. Oh well any excuse for the failure in the Oval office is better than none I guess. (PS: short history lesson, we've been cheating the hell out of every country that "partners" with us AKA invade, occupy, and bomb the $hit out of, for the last fifty years or so, Bush and ObaMAO just kept it going), we don't need excuses we need leadership and the current administration simply isn't up to the task.

Nearly four times as long as it took a conservative to suggest Obama should have been killed! Three times as long as it took for birthers to make illegitimacy claims, and twice as long as comments about supposed communist plans to pop up.

That's it ,its' Bushes fault!Never Berries' fault because he has godlike abilities to get everyone together and sing campfire songs and be nice to each other.Like Iran,N.Korea and a list of other thug countries that could give a damn about USA.He isn't particularly disliked by this batch of countries because he has held up signing this treaty for three years until he got concessions from these countries about union rights in these countries.Imagine that,Berrie giving away the store to the unions at the expence of the rest of us ! Go figure!

It's Never Bush's fault according to you rwnjs.

To err is human,

To blame your errors on someone else is a democrat.

Are you people that stupid? Look up what a leftist is in Columbia compared to the US. World of difference. The answer might just suprise you,and show how ignorant you really are.
